Hi I've got this problem atm.
Mine either can't see the HD on boot or is ok for 10 mins - sends the drive to sleep and it's all over.
I've just got a scsi zip drive and am trying to back up stuff when i can see the drive.
EMU recommended i then re plug in the the IDN leads just in case a connection has got loose.
Then try with a new hard drive. (i have a spare one for a new pc build)
and if i have no joy then i may need a new lead for the drive .
i spose if that doesn't work then it's a case of repairing the EMU or just going for and external/internal scsi drive. not really ideal.
i'll keep you posted on how i get on.
